Get scuba tanks for the commute.

Even just making eye contact is enough to give you asbestos poisoning

Carts.

Drug use? Vaping/ smoking? Never seen it. Occasional drinking yes but nothing intrusive. Don’t know what you are talking about.

Yes, smoking in the car is rude and obnoxious.

The amount of anxiety you have over this though is more than likely causing you more harm than whatever is airborne from these people

I had a lovely experience last month with a young adult (she looked around 19/21) vaping right next to me in a packed train. I side-eyed and sighed loudly, she then proceeded to breathe smoke into my face twice.

You're riding the NYC subway and you're worried about a few minutes of second hand smoke?

I suggest you pull the emergency brake and tell everyone on the train your concerns, they will be sympathetic.

If you shake your finger really hard and say "git!", they usually stop and scurry off.

Agreed honestly, we’re all gonna die some day, take it easy and enjoy your train ride with NYCs finest

What train are you riding, Walter White's Meth Lab Express?

I’d be more worried about the subway air quality reports than someone smoking in the train cars

You sound fun at parties

Idk I like second hand crack smoke

I've seen it, but not nearly as often as OP seems to. Often people will stink of weed but not be actively smoking, but it's rare for me to see anyone lighting up on the train (and when it happens it's usually cigarettes). Most people just respect that it's fuckin rude to smoke in an enclosed space with people. I HAVE walked into a subway car where people were fully attempting to hotbox, like, twice in my 10yrs here.

What OP really needs to worry about is ear protection! The subway is so loud that commuting regularly without protection will do long-term damage to your hearing. (I don't worry too much about it myself, but OP seems in the mood to worry about things.)

Oh my goodness. Bless your heart.

Man, you would last about 2 minutes in 1922 New York City.

Cart? GTFOH

I thought I was unfun till I read this

But you have access to everything…

No seriously, that’s a long story bro.

Sit in the front car and tattle tell when it happens

your whiny pearl clutching is way more annoying tbqh.

>Ugh. I can’t wait until the day I move out of this trashy city.

I agree, you should definitely leave the city.

OP's other posts are all about air pollution, "drug exposure," etc. Not to diagnose over the internet but seems like they need some professional help beyond reddit.
